 dmpage orc right orcs or euroz are a coarse aggressive race constantly at war with many various enemies in appearance they tend to resemble primitive humans what with their stooped posture and sloped brow though they are easily distinguishable through their grayish-green skin covered with coarse hair they tend to be slightly shorter on average than humans with the average male standing around 5 and a half feet and the average female around 5 feet even they possess normal humanoid eyes though with a reddish tint that gives the appearance of glowing in certain conditions they often dress in colors that most humans find unpleasant; mustard yellow rust red greenish purple and the like though they share the surface quality of aggression with hobgoblin hobgoblins they are not nearly their equal as tacticians this is due to a number of reasons chief among them the fact that they don't devote nearly the time to improving themselves as others believing that their superiority over other races is innate rather than something which must be earned the low quality of orcish goods is renown from their brittle blades to their poorly-maintained armor to their near-rotting leather their enemies are numerous including humans dwarves goblins and even other orcish tribes by far though their greatest hatred is reserved for elves due to the ancient conflict between grummsh and corellon larethian the respective heads of their pantheons in combat orcs are quite dishonorable not following any of the so-called rules of war followed by even some other humanoid species they are well-known for their exploitation of the concepts of honor and chivalry among other races as seen in the common phrase less trustworthy than an orcish merchant they are also known as a cruel race with many of the opinion that a tribe of orcs would rather their opponents gain a pyhrric victory than a quick and painless defeat they are heavily patriarchal as well with females considered fit only to bear and nurse children and never taught arts of combat above all else orcs value territory though wealth number of offspring and experience in combat are also points of pride among them if one is forced into combat with orcs it it's best to do so in the light as orcs are known to have an aversion to light prefering the dark of nightfall half-orcs are quite similar to orcs in physical characteristics with their orcish ancestry usually much more apparant than their human their human blood however causes them to be looked down upon by other orcs as they see half-orcs as having had their innate superiority tainted by human blood quite often they are killed after birth in orcish tribes though a half-orc with an orcish mother is extremely rare in the first place in human communities their chances for survival and occurance are somewhat better though they are rarely outright killed following their birth they are often outcasts given their relatively low intelligence the general negative impression of orcs most have and the circumstances which usually lead to the birth of a half-orc although they are rarely able to integrate themselves into a human community usually those that are able to pass for nothing more than an ugly human it is far more common for half-orcs in a region to congregate and form their own separate settlement such as the city of haven in southern keoland
